What Happened to Extreme Sports Cameras After Dragons’ Den?

Extreme Sports Cameras appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 2 Episode 6. The business was a wireless camera for extreme sports. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2019.

The Pitch

Daniel Krywyj walked into the Den in 2005 with a wireless camera for extreme sports. They were asking for N/A.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Daniel Krywyj left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Extreme Sports Cameras did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2019, some 14 years after the pitch.

This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.

Is Extreme Sports Cameras Still Available?

No. J D 7 Limited is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
